Grisanti gets $ from Bloomberg and Gill

This may be a good indication of the campaign finance fallout from June’s historic same sex marriage vote and we’ll have a clearer picture on Friday when all the filings have to be in, but it looks like GOP freshman Senator Mark Grisanti of Buffalo has reaped some big donations from supporters of same sex marriage (Grisanti was among the four Republicans to support the measure).

According to the July filings, he raised $153,469.19 in the most recent cycle. According to NYPIRG analyst Bill Mahoney, who is dissecting the filings, that amount in July 2009 would have placed him eighth on the list of senators who raised the most money.

Some of his big donors included NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a supporter of same sex marriage, who gave $10,300: and software tycoon and gay-rights activist Tim Gill who gave $10,000.
